Super appreciative of Tom and his excellent service! Had a computer malfunction and Tom went above and beyond any and all expectations while recovering 100% of my data that was lost. Was able to get my hardware in and turned around in 24 hours (priority service is extra, but worth it if youre in a time crunch) Overall, cannot be happier with the experience and knowledge Tom had to offer and the service and support from him as well. Only local in the Austin area that was ACTUALLY local. Fantastic job and will be returning in the future if necessary!

Went to them when my harddrive failed abruptly, and they were able to get to my drive and work on recovering the data pretty quickly. Tom was very good about calling me with progress reports and questions, and helped me understand what the pros and cons of the various options were at each step of the process. They recovered the vast majority of my data with very little inconvenience to me, and I was very happy with the end results, and the customer service during the recovery. My only comment, which is not a critique as much as it is a note for future customers, is that the check I paid them in mid May did not get cashed until late September, which was pretty inconvenient for my budgeting. Again, nothing wrong with that as a business practice per-say, but it did surprise me, so make a note to keep track of when the check cashes if you have a budget that fluctuates, so that you dont get surprised as well. But overall, excellent experience, I absolutely will use them again if my harddrive has another disaster.

1000% amazing! I recommend this service to anyone that needs Data Recovery work done. They were quick, responsive and very knowledgeable. They were able to recover a crucial system drive that had died unexpectedly.I worked with Tom. He walked me through the options, his plan for recovering the volume and was happy to explain every step of the process.Im extremely pleased with the service and will be who I go to for future Data Recovery needs.

I am very pleased with how IT Data Recovery handled the recovery of my data. They were recommended to me by a computer repair shop I have used locally for years. When they were not able to get all the data off my drive, they suggested IT Data Recovery. From the moment I called and spoke with Tom, he was professional, kind (yes, that matters) and upfront about the costs and processes. He was able to answer all my questions and was always available. Having someone knowledgeable pick up the phone is a rarity these days, and its something that is really important to me, especially in this type of situation. Tom communicated with me throughout the process and also followed up after I had received my drive back. I felt the price to recover my data was reasonable, the turnaround quick, and they were able to recover all the data off my hard drive. I would absolutely use them again (although I hope I dont have to) and would highly recommend them to both businesses and individuals.

These guys are pretty amazing. My external drive was seriously damaged, so my hopes were not very high. Thomas Hall was able to recover all the data I needed in a relatively short period of time. He literally saved my research grant. He was very responsive, honest, and trustable since the beginning and that is one of the reasons why I decided to work with him rather than with other specialists. I strongly recommend them.

Cannot recommend them enough! I’m a graphic designer in town visiting for a few days and my external hard drive stopped working/the port came out. They were amazingly responsive and able to get me in and out same-day for emergency service - definitely not my expectation, they far exceeded.They saved my whole (work) life!!!

I dropped off an 80G external hardware drive that had been dropped while running, never a good thing. it would only click when connected to a Windows machine. Most, but not all files had been backed up, so I asked Tom to focus on only a two directories. He also provided a full directory listing, in case I had forgotten something. We talked several times, and I always felt he was trying to achieve the best outcome for me. And he did, recovering from a damaged drive (all but 70 files from nearly 3200 images, photos that were 14 years old and I thought lost forever. Tom did not have break open the drive and swap out the platter, so the cost was reasonable. A great little business and a real asset to the Austin community.

I am so thankful for Tom! He’s an angel! He really made my Mother’s Day when he recovered 15 years of my data. He explained everything to me in great detail and, he is very professional. I have a much better understanding about backing up my data. I recommend anyone with hard drive issues to use Tom’s services.

I took my Mac SSD to Tom from IT Data Recovery and felt immediately like it was in good hands. He was prompt, responsive, thorough, knowledgable, and willing to offer any additional advice he could. Although he was not able to recover the data on the drive (due to the sheer extent of damage) I feel grateful and satisfied with the experience of working together, and will definitely be back if I need his services again. Highly recommend!

Thomas at IT Data Recovery did what others failed to do . . . he retrieved 10 days worth of photos from a corrupted SD card. As a professional photographer this was worth its weight in gold. As importantly, Thomas did it quickly and kept me informed every step of the process. He even followed up afterwards to make sure everything worked for me once I got home (which it did!). As a friend of mine said when I told him of my success getting back the photos . . . Chalk one up for local business! I both highly recommend IT Data Recovery and will unequivocally use them again even though I hope I never have to! :-) Five stars for both the outcome and the customer service!

Tom, with IT, was hired by me to assist in the copying and recovery of data from an off-site hard drive. I was no one special to them; internet research found IT. He was knowledgeable and patient answering my questions and addressing my concerns on a subject in which I needed expert help. He made himself accessible whenever I called and, if not immediately available, he would get back with me in short order. When IT could not help me with a portion of my consult, he provided a full explanation why at no charge and followed through with what IT could do. I appreciated their honesty and integrity and the respect Tom showed me.

I am NOT a computer techy and disregarded previous recommendations to consistently backup the data on my old laptop. I was distressed when I found out ALL the data on the hard drive was lost and the backup drive I did have was corrupt. I am so grateful to have found IT Data Recovery. Thomas was fast, efficient, and took the time to explain some of the issues and recommendations for backup on my new laptop. I highly recommend IT Data Recovery if you find you need help recovering data on your computer. Thomas is THE BEST!

Free quote followed by quick service. Tom was very knowledgeable, communicated with me outside of business hours, and ultimately got the job done. Pretty expensive, but I guess thats standard for data recovery.

Service from Tom was amazing! I went in as a wreck since I am a grad school student and require my laptop 24/7. He was able to to help me step by step of what needed to be done. He answered all of my phone calls and reported to me frequently with updates. The price was fair and I was happy to pay with everything he was able to pull off the soaked laptop. I will recommend him to others and work with him again! Thanks you were awesome!

My hard drive crashed out of no where and 3 geek squads could not get it to read. I thought this was the end but I researched recovering data from a hard drive, and got referred to IT Data Recovery by a fellow stenographer. I filled out the evaluation form and within a few hours I received a call from Mr. Hall ready to help. He gave me all the information I needed, and verbally showed me he was taking my work as if it was his own. I sent him my drive and within 2 days he updated me on the recovery, which was 99%. Soooooo pleased after I thought I would lose legal work. He sent me my invoice, then a day later I received my drive back. I absolutely recommend this company for any of your data recovery needs. The efficiency and knowledge is what one would look for in recovering any type of data, and they provide that. I will definitely use IT Data Recovery again in the future (hopefully I don’t forget to back up lol) if necessary. They can be counted on for the recovery and have record turn around time ! 10 out of 10 !

I dropped/ damaged my hard-drive and lost all the information on it. A local computer repair company could not recover it so I contacted IT Recovery.Thomas was up-front with pricing, what to expect, how the process would go, and kept me informed of how the recovery was going. He was helpful, informative, and answered all my questions. The work was done quickly and professionally and I am very pleased with the recovery. I would definitely recommend IT Data Recovery to anyone who has lost important computer data. (David J)

Outstanding! This guy is a miracle worker!!Recovered my laptop files 100% after a nasty hard disk failure (along with the simultaneous functional failure of my external back-up system). I took my laptop to IT Data Recovery after, first, going to another local recovery outfit. This other outfit quoted me one price before I brought in the laptop, and then raised their quote 3 times as they understood the value of the files I needed recovered (while continuously lowering their projection of success). Thomas at IT Data Recovery not only was able to do what they had been unable to, he did it amazingly fast -- and volunteered to replace my hard drive at the same time. He did it all for less than the first quote from his competitor. He also helped me straighten out some funky files post-recovery. Great customer service.Should this ever happen to me again, IT Data Recovery are now my go-to guys!! Couldnt recommend them more strongly.

I couldnt thank IT Data Recovery enough. My hard drive was/is sooooo important to me and having it totally damaged really makes me cringe. BUT they did their magic. I got 95% back. Worth every penny. They communicate with me throughout the process and kept me updated. I am just beyond grateful. I dont hope for anyone to lose their data BUT if anyone ever do...I RECOMMEND THEM!!!!

Its hard to fully describe just how professional these guys are. They rescued me from a total loss of all of the most important files of my personal business. Whereas other companies tried to immediately sell me (while I was in an ego state of fear and anger from my computer dying), Thomas was calm, professional, and explained everything to me right from the start. I dropped off my laptop with him and within a couple of days had 100% of the data recovered. If you find yourself in the same situation as I, do yourself a favor and go with IT Data Recovery. Excellent service from beginning to end.

Thomas did an excellent job restoring data from my daughters broken hard-drive. I never thought that was possible since the drive was in such bad shape. He successfully recovered her files.

I work in media and I had a broken external hard drive with over 3 years of videos, projects and graphics that I thought I would never see again!

Tom repaired a thumb drive that no one else was able to and it was delicately repaired and a short cable installed on it so the thumb drive didnt have to be touched when inserted into the USB drive. It worked and we were able to retrieve some treasured family photos and videos. Tom was great to work with and I would highly recommend him for the services he provides.

I had deleted by daughters first birthday video. I was devastated and tried to recover it and fix the video but I just couldnt and I even accidentally overwrote part of the SD card. I read the reviews for Toms work and I knew if anyone could do it, it would be Tom.HE DID IT!! He saved the entire 19 minutes of my daughters 1st bday. I cried when I watched it. I thought I had lost it forever. I hope that I never have to use Tom again but if I do, hes my first call. Thank you Tom, from the bottom of my heart!

I can definitely say that Thomas is the best. I cannot thank him enough. My laptop hard-drive was crashed and I was freaking out because I thought I lost all data important to me.

I was somewhat skeptical that the drive with all my business data on it could be recovered, but within 24 hours Tom had cloned the drive and all my data was restored.A miracle worker, and lifesaver in my opinion.

My old laptop died. No boot. No lights. Nothing. My last backup was 6 months ago and I was in a spot. Took it to Office Depot and they said there was nothing that could be done. I wanted a 2nd opinion so I called Tom and he was awesome. Easy to work with and very knowledgeable. From first conversation to all of my data recovered and on an external drive, 3 days at a very affordable rate. I highly recommend these guys.

This was the best service I could have ever asked for and so much more. Thomas kept in contact constantly and was genuinely concerned that I got the best service possible and was fully aware of all the details, costs, timelines, etc. He got back 100% of the data and worked dilligently over a holiday weekend to make it happen. I cant remember a time that I ever received better service anywhere for anything.

Thomas has done an amazing job. During the pandemic lockdown my laptop’s hard drive crashed with all the photos from my daughter’s wedding, and documents I had neglected to back-up. Thomas responded promptly and professionally, made it easy and safe to meet and drop off my laptop and kept me up to speed every step of the way. A few days later Thomas had recovered all of my data, additionally backed up my information on an external drive and had my computer working like new

I was very worried that I had lost precious family photos/videos, especially after learning that my particular hard drive has a high fail rate (and often fails without much hope of recovery).

I had a GREAT experience with IT Data Recovery and definitely recommend them. All the positive reviews are exactly what I experienced.

You cant put a price on the memories I thought I was going to lose from the single hard drive that had about 15 years worth of family photos and video. I received wild quotes from many places and thought I wouldnt be able to afford to recover anything.At a price much lower than anyone else, Tom brought my data back from the brink. His service was very professional with a personal touch. My wife and I cant thank you enough for returning to us our familys precious moments.

Tom is a rock star! A few months back my Mac ran our of storage space, So I placed all my folders onto my back up drive forgetting to get another back up drive . When my Husbands external hard drive failed a week earlier and he lost a lot of his video work, I then told myself--- GET ANOTHER BACK UP DRIVE ASAP! The thought of me losing my work files was scary. Sure enough, it happenend to me. My external hard drive stopped showing up on my monitor. Did all the troubleshoots under the sun, but also didnt waste alot of time either. I looked online for a local data recovery company, called a few, only to find out they were NOT indeed local, and will ship your hard drive out of state to be worked on! No thanks. IT Data Recovery is Austin Local, and Tom is great! My files are all restored and my work saved, it took less than 5 days. The price is fair for life saving work.Thank you so much Tom! ROCK ON with your bad self!;)

I cannot thank Thomas and his team enough! They were able to save all of my data from a dropped external harddrive that got damaged. I thought I had lost all of my photos and memories, as well as important documents that had not been backed up. They communicated thoroughly the entire process with updates as they went along. They gave easy directions on how to drop off. Thank you again for your hardwork and help! I highly recommend them!

One of my hard drives (G drive mobile) stopped showing up on my computer and while I always have multiple backups of my files (I am a wedding photographer), I did not back up one folder that I worked on in Lightroom that I still needed to share with the client. Its the edited files that I needed, I still had the originals. Definitely, not the worst case scenario but the thought of editing over 1000 images again just killed me!I ended up taking the failed hard drive to IT Data Recovery and Tom, the owner, was able to recover the two folders I needed Such a relief! I highly recommend IT Data Recovery! Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Review №51

Got a SSD drive as a gift so I started using it to save work on a project. (Figuring SSDs were super safe...no moving parts!) Well, some mystery liquid got spilled on it (you could see the remnants of the stain ring on top of the drive.) And so there goes 200 hours worth of work down the toilet...Checked around and started reading reviews about Tom and IT Data Recovery. What I like about this service is that Tom doesnt get paid unless they can recover the data (or at least a large portion of it.) I would have expected some sort of Eval Fee to pay for his time to at lest open up the drive and diagnose the problem. But not here!Beforehand, Tom will tell you a best case scenario price. Then as he opens up the drive and sees the damage, will (if necessary) give an increased best case price considering the parts and labor to fix the problem. If that price is not worth the data thats stored on the drive, you can say No Thanks! and walk away.For me, I had the 200 hours worth of work, but then also realized I had moved some pics and movies off my home computer onto the SSD (again thinking it was safe.) So the price made sense for me and Tom was able to get 100% of the data back. (Tom even included a picture of the damaged chips.)One last thing about the experience - When Tom called to say the SSD was ready, we ended up talking about 20 minutes about data storage. He gave his pros/cons about Hard Drives, SSDs, Cloud Services. Explained how they work, the differences, vendor preferences, etc. It was very enlightening and helpful. Tom couldve just been short with me, but he took the time to talk shop.So if you have a drive that got some liquid damage inside, let Tom at least look at it. All is not lost!!!

I called IT Data Recovery mid-morning on a Tuesday and spoke with Tom about a very important file that I had somehow lost. Please note that I consider myself to be fairly tech savvy - so by the time I made this call, I was already feeling pretty hopeless. But, by mid-afternoon, I had the data back!!! One more thing... afterwards they showed real concern that the data recovery was complete AND accurate. That was much appreciated too.

I had a pretty big issue come up. External Hard-drive with a few current projects Im working on got damaged and I wasnt able to make backups. (Interestingly enough I was going to get a backup that same day, but fate wasnt on my side hahaaaaaa)Really needed to get the footage at the very least and IT Data Recovery really saved my bacon there.Some of the files were damaged, but they were able to recover successfully over 99%. The damaged video files just had some glitches in some frames. Very minor and easy to edit/work around.It did cost a bit but it was worth it. They also threw in a quick sweep and recovery of the rest of the hard-drive I wasnt prioritizing getting as much. It wouldve cost me a lot more to do so, but they did it for free. So a nice bonus to getting the footage I really needed.Super grateful and happy with their work. Their employees were kind and helpful. If youre in a bind and need to get data back from a failing hard drive, I highly recommend you check this place out!

Awesome experience with IT Data Recovery!! This company, and Thomas in particular, has helped me on 3 separate occasions with recovering very important data from bad / failed hard drives. I would highly recommend them if you have a failed hard drive or missing data that needs recovery. My needs were always very time sensitive, and it was very nice to be able to pay a little extra to be moved to the top of the queue. Hope I never need recovery again, but if I do, I know for a fact I will be returning to IT Data Recovery. Thanks again !

My hard drive crashed and the potential of what could have been lost would have been beyond devastating.

I’m embarrassed to say that I’ve used them twice. I should’ve learned from the first time I didn’t have data backed up every day. However, if you find yourself in need of experts, these are your guys. They answered my frantic call on a holiday weekend, and got to work immediately. While we weren’t able to recover all the actual data, we were able to recover all the file names and I was then able to reconstruct my files. Tom also made 2 passes by my place to drop off and pick up, which is clearly above and beyond. Thank you, Tom!

Tom and IT Data Recovery were fast and their price for drive recovery was very competitive. But if youre looking at this review, the thing youd probably care most about was that they were able to recover every single file from my busted 2 TB drive.

I recovered all of my data (Hallelujah!) and I would definitely use IT Data Recovery again (which will hopefully never be necessary!) and I recommend them wholeheartedly.

We lost a critical drive with a backup too old to be of use. When my own recovery method failed, I called Tom at IT Data Recovery. I was grateful to find someone local that would give it a free evaluation (that was huge!) while I focused my attention on a Plan B for our office. Tom answered all of my questions and was a pleasure to work with. From our first conversation I felt assured that they had the tools and knowledge to retrieve the data that I needed. I had evaluation results in 24 hours and got our data back the following day at a price that is considerably less than we expected. No hidden fees or surprise costs - everything was upfront and simple. Our experience with them could not have been better.While I hope we never need this service again, I am adding IT Data Recovery as a top resource in our disaster recovery plan. I would highly recommend them to anyone needing data retrieval.

After contacting IT Data Recovery (Tom) walked me through the whole process. He was able to recover all data. This was a very important video collection of my child’s birth.

Had a very unfortunate 1TB hard drive literally crash to the floor. The drive was non-responsive, but IT Data Recovery (Tom and Team) were able to recover the entire drive. Tom was always accessible to answer questions. Promptly provided feedback/status on the drive recovery. IT Data Recovery has both fantastic customer support, and top notch technical data recovery services. Submitting the drive was quick and easy. The drive recovery was extremely fast, and completely thorough. If you have a drive crash this is the place to go hands down.

I had such a great experience with IT Data Recovery. Tom is phenomenal. I had an internal hard drive from an old Mac Pro tower go bad. My husband had months of work on it that he hadnt backed up yet. We dropped off the drive to Tom right away. He gave us daily updates and educated us on exactly what was going on with it. My drive had many bad and broken sectors. We were bracing ourselves for the worst. When he called me with the good news, a huge weight was lifted off our shoulders. They were able to 100% recover and fix our important files! Tom went above and beyond for us during a very stressful time. He spent a few more days on my drive at no extra charge. Their prices are more than fair and the best in town. Hes not out to price gauge like some other places I looked into. Seriously, if you find yourself in a data loss situation, do yourself a favor and let ITDR take care of it for you. I give Tom and his team 10 stars!

IT Data Recovery was fantastic. They recovered all the data on our drive within only a few days, were easy to work with, very professional, and patient with our questions. Their location in the Frost Bank Tower is actually easy to get in and out of for dropping off and picking up the drive. Highly recommended.

My external harddrive crashed and Tom at IT Data Recovery was recommended to me. I reached out to Tom and presented him with my problem.Once ITDR had my device and after its diagnosis, Tom advised that there was a 99.998% recovery for the lost data, which was great.Tom is very knowledgeable and kept me up to date with how the process was going.Thank you for your help...!!!

IT Data recovery saved the day for my friends and I who had extremely important data that needed to be saved. Local heros in my book! Could not have asked for a better experience. Big thanks to Tom the owner!

My old iMac was fried during a recent lightening storm, and all data was lost since I didnt have it backed up. I was able to take the old hard drive in to Tom at ITDR to see if he could recover my data. Within a couple of days and for a reasonable price, Tom was able to recover all of my data and transfer it to a portable hard drive, which I used to transfer the recovered data to a new computer.I had a little difficulty in transferring the recovered data to a new computer, but Tom offered additional support to complete the transfer. My new computer is now up and running with all data fully recovered.Throughout the process, Tom was very professional and helpful. His service was excellent. Based on my experience, Id highly recommend Tom and ITDR to anyone needing data recovery service.

Tom at IT Data Recovery did an excellent job recovery around 45 GB of data from a 160GB mirrored hard disk. The service was performed professionally at a fair price despite the complexity of providing multiple drives that confused the issue somewhat. I would recommend IT Data Recovery for anyone seeking data recovery service especially if you are local to Austin Texas.

IT Data Recovery, 401 Congress Avenue, Suite 1540, Austin, Texas recovered all of my data at one-third of the cost of other services. Tom worked on a holiday weekend and recovered all my files. Thankful for their quick turnaround!

My laptop had fried my hard drive. I took it to the Geek Squad and they could not get the data off without it being insanely expensive. I did some research and found IT Data Recovery. I got in contact with Matt who was extremely helpful and I dropped my hard drive off the next day. Within a couple of days they got all my data off of it for a very reasonable price and I am very happy. I thought I was doomed after contacting other companies who quoted me for much higher than IT Data Recovery but I am now so relieved. A++

I was ready to send my harddrive to Chicago when I decided to look for someone in the Austin area, and I am so glad I did. This company recovered virtually all of my data, within a few days, so I was back in business fast, and could not be happier. On top of that, their fee was very reasonable. Even better was the time the owner spent with me over the phone, a rare thing these days. I recommend these guys highly.

I had a head failure on a hard drive (mechanical malfunction), which is unfortunately something that requires a clean room to fix (expensive). Tom was incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and helpful, but also up front and clear about pricing and likelihood of successful data recovery for each option. The prices are fair, and you get what you pay for. In the end, I got all of my data back, exactly when it was estimated to be completed.

Tom at IT Data Recovery recovered 17 years of my memories. The thought of losing everything is so stressful. I was blessed to meet someone who had just as much concern and interest as I did in getting my data back. I cannot thank or recommend him enough.

Excellent response time and service from Tom. Our small agency lost mission critical data. Our RAID Array/Server crashed. One hard drive crashed at a work station and we needed help recovering photos of a crime scene from a flash card. Tom helped us even though it was after hours, working over the weekend, to get our data recovered and restore us to functionality.

When it comes to your personal media, there is no substitute for a true professional data recovery service. I used my regular computer repair service to recover my dead hard drive; he said that he does data recovery, but he was only able to recover about 5% of the data and all the file names were gibberish. Then I took it to Tom at IT Data Recovery. He was able to get 99.9999% of my data back and the files and folders looked just like they did before the hard drive failed. I would recommend Tom & his techs to anyone.Its worth the extra money to get the most data recovered as possible and IT Data Recovery can do it.

I was one of the unlucky few who had a external hard drive that was damaged pretty bad. IT DR found a way to get it all back to me, atleast %99 of it. I had already given up hope, it seemed bleak. but they found a way. it too about 5 weeks, cost was $1775 (but that much cheaper than other quotes, but almost half), totally worth it!

After taking my external hard drive to a computer repair shop, they determined I needed additional help to get the files off of my broken drive. Thomas from IT Data Recovery picked up my hard drive from Compuzone the next morning, and had all of my files recovered the a day later. Life saver!

After suffering a drive failure and first trying DriveSavers we dropped our drive off with IT Data Recovery. They were able to completely recover all of our data. After the recovery we were able to merge the recovered data back into the existing database and are back to a state as if the failure never occurred. IT Data Recovery came in at 1/3 the price as DriveSavers, were quick, professional and a pleasure to work with. They were thorough in explaining the process, including the technical details which I found very interesting. In addition to the business data recovery Thomas also advised on personal backup/recovery solutions which was very helpful. I will definitely recommend IT Data Recovery to any colleagues who need recovery services.

Dropped a hard drive that had crashed on me with a very important file relevant to my research as a graduate student. They were able to recover it fairly quickly and pushed through some initial difficulties to get me the entire drive rather than the contents of the directory I asked for, and for no extra price! Though my own idiocy in not backing my stuff up led to this problem, I am fortunate that this service was here to help me.

Found just the help I needed. My hard drive crashed without a back up and work couldnt help me. I told them to send the HD back to me and Id find someone to fix it if possible. I learned my lesson about backing up.I really thought I would be SOL when my work IT guys told me it was hopeless but then I found Tom. He not only got me going again, he was creative in helping me try to reinstall my information as he could tell I wasnt quite literate in computers.Thank you Tom for helping so quickly and being so helpful and knowledgable! You are the best.He is worth driving to downtown Austin and driving around for a parking space!!!!!

Im a wedding and lifestyle photographer here in Austin, and at midnight last Sunday, I was moving my iMac and my external hard drive fell from about 3 feet onto the floor while it was powered off. I had a few sessions, some personal photos, but more importantly THREE full, unedited weddings on it that I hadnt backed up yet. I was having some serious panic attacks when my computer wouldnt recognize the drive any more. I immediately found ITDR via google and dropped my drive off with them the following morning while saying all of the prayers I could think of. Ive been doing this for almost 4 years and nothing like this has ever happened to me so I was a nervous wreck.Tom was extremely helpful and honest about what he would be able to do/not do and 8 days later I had my successfully recovered drive back!! I cant tell you how thankful I am for ITDR--it saved me some heartbreaking conversations with brides, and of course, changed the way I back up my files now.Tom was great about always answering my anxious phone calls and explaining everything to me. I hope I never have to use them again, but if I do--Ill gladly give them by business. My overall cost was a tiny percentage of what it would have cost me to refund the weddings. USE THESE GUYS. Its 1000% worth it, and I have no complaints--only gratitude!!

Miracle workers! A catastrophic server failure. Acorrupt backup file. 12 years of critical data gone. Tom and crew took two bad hard drives, rescued the data, and worked with our software vendor to restore the system. Cannnot thank you enough!

I had tried to unclutter my hard drive by moving data to my external drive. Big mistake when it started acting up. I was recovering stuff to a 35 Gb flash drive when everything quit. My most cherished files were Genealogical and Family Tree Maker. Thomas got to work, emailed me a recovered (test sample) FTM file which properly opened the FTM software. He loaded the remaining data a Toshiba 750 Gb portable hard drive which I picked up the next day. I found one file (my 44 Mg FTM file) was corrupted. I emailed him about the problem; he had a CD ready to pickup the next morning in which the file worked properly. I dont want to ever go through this again; Tom will have to speak for himself. What I thought was a complete disaster (years and years of work) was averted by IT Data Recovery. Thanks Thomas, as far as Im concerned you get a 10 on a scale of 3.
